Review: Woo Me (The Outback Bachelor Ball #2) by Karina Bliss

Woo Me is the second installment in the Outback Bachelor Ball series
where three girlfriends who have suffered heartaches get together for a
weekend of fun and girl power.

While all stories start similarly with the girls talking, commiserating
with each other over their heartbreak woes, this one focuses on Jen,
the sophisticated, put together career girl who is afraid to truly
commit and take a chance with love.

At the start of this story, Jen is coming off a bad break up with a
previous boyfriend. While Jen is rather gun-shy about men in general,
I'm glad she does not automatically apply the "all men as jerks" label
on every guy she encounters. When she meets Logan, she recognises him
as one of the good guys, but she's leaving the next day for New Zealand
and she's afraid to trust her heart to a man after a difficult
childhood, witnessing the fall out of her parents' divorce and her own
very current heartbreak. I liked that about Jen. I also liked that she
decided to take a risk and was willing to be disappointed. I found her
to be bright, sassy, fun and courageous. All the things I like in a
heroine. She did not let her own shortcomings get in the way of her
having a good time or finding love but she was cautious and she was
willing to take a calculated risk with a man she felt a strong pull
towards.

With Logan, what is there not to like about him? He's SAS, strong,
capable, resourceful and all round good guy. He's another one of those
guys you'd be happy to bring home to meet mama. I love guys like him.
Some girls love the bad boy she has to fix, not me. I love me a good
"good guy". Logan is forthright, honest and he knows his heart. He's
not afraid to go after what he wants, take chances, and rely on gut
instinct. I guess you need all those "mad skills" (you'll know what I
mean by "mad skills" if you read the book. :-) ) to survive being a
tough, kick butt military guy. I love he was confident enough in
himself Jen's career and success did not intimidate him, and didn't
make him feel like he had something to prove. Most of all, I love he
chased after Jen and showed her she was worth the effort. How do you
not love a guy like that?

All in all, I truly enjoyed this story. The Outback Ball shenanigans
were fun to experience and of course, Jen gets into her fair share of
them dressed as she does. I won't spoil the surprise of what she
dresses as and how much fun it is to watch her navigate the ball in her
costume.

There's one more book in the series. Beth's story. That's next for me.

I loved Skye Warren's Beauty series and His For Christmas and her writing is excellent but this just is too dark for me. I know it is branded as dark erotica and I thought that I would take a chance on the novella / prequel to the series...

Even though the world this book is based in consists of elves and are one of my favorite character races to read about (which was why I got excited and picked up this prequel) reading this did not make me want to run out and grab the fir...
